FT difference last 2 seasons
11.7 vs 8.9
11.6 vs 9.3

Slight dip? Sorry I’m really bad at Math

FT merchants struggling in the playoffs will always be a thing

That’s why Embiid can’t do anything like Jokic when it matters….


Except play elite defense, something Jokic knows nothing about. Then again Embiid also wouldn't know what it's like to have a guard who can average 30 a game in the playoffs like Jokic either lmao

And let's talk this season when Embiid has a real head coach who actually has off ball movement in his offense and not just iso plays. Someone who actually makes in game adjustments. There's a reason Embiid is having the best season of his career.

Embiid is the best player in the league and another MVP will seal that argument. B2b MVP and 3 straight scoring titles. Stay blessed.

Well he’s simply just not that good in the playoffs. So explain why to me then?


He's incredible at times, and falls off in others. Inconsistent is the best way to put it. Injuries certainly were a big part of it, which is always a concern.

Not a surprise though being a big man and getting double/triple teamed without a high usg elite productivity guard in past years. Add in the fact that Doc Rivers absolutely sucked at running effective playoff offenses, and didn't believe in off ball movement, it regularly created a predictable offense that teams could just double and trap Embiid regularly.

Well when Doc Rivers was there, he was apparently a top 15 all time coach. Now he’s gone, he’s a bum. That’s my take away from his nonsense.

Funny thing is, embids #s are identical to last year's with doc

Maxey and Harden averaged 20ppg agnst Celtics. If they dint have harden(2 40 pt games) these bums would have barely won 1 game.

Lol wut

1) Embiid's numbers aren't identical to last year with Doc ..he's literally next level as a passer and averaging a career high 6+ APG. Hes also scoring a career high 35 PPG. Tell us you haven't watched Embiid play this season without telling us.

2) Harden had two great games in a 7 game series, but was dog shit otherwise. Especially in games 6 and 7 where he scored 9 and 13 points and turned it over a billion times and shot like shit. If Harden was even half decent in game 6 that series would have been over in 6. But he scored 13 pts on 4/16 from the field and collapsed late 😭
